[quote user="pcarrell"] <p>Several issues may be at work here.</p><p>You may have a grade built in as you suggest. I'd also like to suggest that tighter curves will always create drag on a loco and can cause what you're describing. Also, having power feeders in the curves will help to even out the speeds. Lastly, good quality locos (I don't know if yours are or not) will be much smoother then a cheaper one when it comes to these things.</p><p>[/quote]</p><p>I have several different manufacturers of locos and I believe pcarrell is right. The better quality locos I have seem to notice no difference where the cheaper ones struggle on any grade. </p>
